Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira and Armaan's fear comes true as Sanjay exposes the truth before they can

Star Plus' Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai recently introduced a five-month leap, bringing subtle yet impactful changes to the storyline. While Armaan's bond with the Poddars remains the same, certain developments have reshaped his and Abhira's lives. Post-leap, Armaan has taken charge of a travel agency, while Abhira has embraced a new look with longer hair. However, the most significant change is the arrival of their child.

The twist lies in the fact that after multiple failed IVF attempts, Armaan and Abhira had to opt for surrogacy. Ruhi, with Rohit's unwavering support, selflessly stepped forward to be their surrogate. Although Armaan was initially against the idea, fearing that Ruhi might develop an emotional attachment to the baby, he eventually agreed for Abhira's sake. Currently, Ruhi is pregnant, but the Poddar family remains unaware of the truth, believing that Ruhi and Rohit are expecting another child of their own.

In the upcoming episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Ruhi, Rohit, Armaan, and Abhira come together to deliberate on whether they should disclose the truth about surrogacy. The confusion arises after the Poddar family mistakenly assumes that not just Ruhi and Rohit but also Abhira and Armaan are expecting a child. Armaan stresses the significance of revealing the truth, emphasising that if they remain silent now for the sake of the family's happiness, the eventual revelation will overshadow any real joy. As Rohit attempts to reason with him, Abhira supports Armaan's stance, asserting that they have no choice but to come clean.

Determined to clear the misunderstanding, they decide to address the family the next day. When they gather everyone, Kaveri inquires about the announcement. Just as Abhira begins to reveal the truth, Sanjay interrupts, exposing that Ruhi is acting as a surrogate for Abhira and Armaan's baby, and Abhira is not actually pregnant. His revelation leaves Abhira in shock. He further accuses Ruhi of being blinded by a sense of sacrifice, carrying the child for Abhira and Armaan, while the Poddar family remains stunned by the secret that had been kept from them.

Highlights from tonight's episode:

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Ruhi hesitates to eat the prasad at the temple, citing discomfort due to the heat. Concerned, Rohit takes her outside, while Armaan and Abhira partake in the prasad. Manisha feels they should have attended the puja, and Sanjay grows suspicious upon noticing Armaan and Abhira in disguise.

Later, Abhira convinces Ruhi to eat the prasad, reassuring her that she, too, is a parent. However, Ruhi loses her balance, prompting Abhira to advise her to be cautious. Meanwhile, Sanjay becomes determined to uncover their secrets.

Elsewhere, Vidya misinterprets Abhira and Armaan's actions, assuming Abhira is pregnant, and the family gathers to celebrate, leaving the couple shocked. Meanwhile, Sanjay discovers Ruhi's IVF appointment, further fueling his doubts. The episode ends with Abhira and Armaan refusing a family gift, but they are pressured into accepting it.
